Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) and the Beach Cities Partnership for Youth Coalition are partnering with South Bay Families Connected and Hermosa Beach City School District to host a two-part, in-person event that will include an evening film screening of “Dead on Arrival,” a fentanyl documentary by Dominic Tierno and Christine Wood, followed by a panel discussion. (A separate screening will take place earlier in the day with 7th grade students in the school district to encourage dialogue at home.) The free evening event is intended for parents and caregivers to hear from local young people who have lived experience with substance use. Young people from New Life House and Clarity Sober Living will share their recovery stories and what they wish their parents knew during that time. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a candid discussion with the panel to learn more about what they can do to better support the mental health of young people in their lives.

Panelists include Sebastian Martin, Executive Director of Operations at New Life House and Brooke Bauer, Program Director at Clarity Sober Living
